It's that time again!!

Camp is upon us once again, brothers and sisters!

And I hope you are all ready. I hope you are all prepared because I have a feeling this camp is going to be a very good one. Like colossal good. Bring as many friends as possible! And through us, God can show them how much He really does love them, just like how He showed us through the people who served at our camps. Just like the last meeting was about, we have to prepare ourselves for this upcoming event.

At the meeting we talked about how we would prepare ourselves, but not so much what we're actually preparing for. I've posted about this before when I served at my first camp, but here it is again, in different wording.

The point of camp is not to feel good, or to be with our friends, or any of that, I'm sure you all know. The point of camp, for the servers, is to focus on God. To eliminate ourselves and to bow down to Him so that He can use us in any way He has to, because that is our purpose as servers. I'm sure you'll hear this again at camp training, but as servers, we are meant to be TOOLS. We don't change lives at the retreat, God does. We simply assist in His work. And to prepare for this duty that we're burdened with, we need to humble ourselves enough to let God work through us.

That's why we're called "servers" because our mission at camp is to SERVE God to our best ability. Whether it be as DGLs or ADGLs or camp leaders or whatever. We go because it's our duty to God to use this event to evangelize and bring these candidates closer to Him. In most cases, closer than they have EVER been to Him in their entire lives. And in order to complete such an amazing and enormous act, we need God HIMSELF to show us what we need to do.

I know it sounds like a lot, but we have time, and we have camp training and brosterhood coming up to help us get ready. Just don't forget to go, ok? Be there or be an oddly proportioned polygonal type of shape. Hahaha.

Much love,
- Bam.
